Atsushi Yoshida
Shinjuku Men's Goods Department, Men's Accessories 1, Assistant Buyer
I joined Mitsukoshi Isetan Co., Ltd. in 2023. I gained experience in the sales of men's shoes and men's cosmetics. After that, I worked as an assistant buyer for bags and luggage, and since 2026 I have been in my current position as an assistant buyer for leather goods on the 1st floor. My current hobby is playing futsal with friends on weekends.

While cherishing your sensibilities, try to imagine yourself using it.

First, I consider whether it appeals to my sensibilities. However, I don't make impulse purchases based solely on that feeling; I try to imagine myself actually using it before buying. I always consider whether it's suitable for everyday use and how easy it is to use.

I was drawn to the Beautiful People bag because of its striking appearance and functionality.

This is a special order item from Beautiful People Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building which I purchased last year.
What really caught my eye was the silver buckle, a special feature of this custom-made bag. While the standard off-the-shelf version has a uniform black buckle, I liked how the silver added a visual accent. But its appeal doesn't stop there; it also boasts convenient functionality for everyday use. I was drawn to its design, particularly the numerous distinctive outer pockets, as well as its 3-way functionality—allowing it to be carried by hand, on the shoulder, or across the body—which ultimately led to my purchase. Despite its appearance, it has a surprisingly large capacity, and I actually used it on an overnight trip. I'm looking forward to using it in all sorts of situations in the future.

When I was in charge of selling men's cosmetics, I encountered many different scents, and this is the one I finally settled on as my favorite. I remember being impressed by the fruity freshness that spread the moment I put on this fragrance. However, as time passed, it changed into a calm scent reminiscent of sandalwood, and I was even more drawn to this transformation, which led me to decide to buy it. As I climb the ladder of adulthood as a working adult, this fragrance, which combines both freshness and maturity, is a versatile scent that I can use in any situation, and I use it all the time. Incidentally, I also like that my name is engraved on the bottle because I bought it during an engraving event.
